Gallery: LETTER 25
Letters home from Private Willis W. Wagener of the 1st Gas Regiment, written from Vichy, France, in the autumn of 1918, describe hospital duties, French town life, and the jubilant celebrations of the premature "False Armistice" of November 7-8. Together with his censored soldier's mail envelope, these pages preserve one doughboy's voice in the closing days of the Great War.
